Minneapolis' long history of policing black and white communities differently - PBS NewsHour

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/minneapolis-long-history-of-policing-black-and-white-communities-differently

Only video, no transcript ,but the introduction certainly got our attention:

The problems with criminal justice in Minnesota’s Twin Cities extend beyond the George Floyd case. Of the 100 largest metro areas in the country, Minneapolis’ income gap between black and white families is the second largest, at nearly $50,000, and the city has a long history of discriminatory housing practices. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports on the context behind this crisis.
